Husband had the collar on his decent coat mended, very happy with the results, you would not know that had been altered. Irina's did a very good job on putting in a new lining in my smart long black coat which literally had got to the non-existent stage, cost £70.00, a lot cheaper than a replacement like coat. (Aug 2012) Hence uping to a 4 star rating. My husband dropped in a skirt for new waist elastic for me, not straight forward as there was two separate parts rather than all in one. I think it was just under or over £10.00, I was pleased. He also dropped in a pair of shorts & jeans which required replacement buttons, cannot remember the cost of those. The jeans were a bit of a disappoint as they put a plastic button on & it has lasted about 2 wears. He will be returning to the shop, so at the moment I cannot comment on the outcome. However I will use again, especially if it is an items that needs to look better than my limited sewing abilities & it is just round the corner from the house. read more
